Ethereum News Today: Bitcoin ETFs Lose $196.2M While Ethereum Funds Gain $73.2M in Single Day

Spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a net outflow of $196.2 million on August 5, 2025, according to SoSoValue [1]. Fidelity Investments’ FBTC recorded the largest single-day outflow, losing $99.1 million, while BlackRock’s IBIT—the largest spot Bitcoin ETF by assets under management (AUM) at $83.8 billion—lost $77.4 million. Grayscale’s GBTC also saw an outflow of $19.7 million, bringing its total outflows since launch to over $23.7 billion [1]. The other nine spot Bitcoin ETFs reported no net movement in fund flows for the day [1].

Conversely, Ethereum-based ETFs saw a net inflow of $73.2 million on the same day [1]. BlackRock’s ETHA led the inflow with $88.8 million, raising its AUM to $9.46 billion. VanEck and 21Shares Ethereum ETFs added $5.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively [1]. However, not all Ethereum ETFs benefited from the inflow; Grayscale’s ETH and ETHE ETFs experienced outflows of $13.5 million and $10.9 million [1]. Four other Ethereum ETFs reported no net flows [1].

The contrasting movements between Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs suggest a shift in investor sentiment. While Bitcoin ETFs continue to face redemption pressure, Ethereum ETFs are drawing capital, reflecting optimism around the network’s upcoming upgrades and broader use case potential [1]. This divergence highlights the evolving preferences of both institutional and retail investors in the crypto space, particularly amid ongoing market volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty [1].

The trend indicates that investors are increasingly differentiating between crypto assets, favoring Ethereum-based products as they look to position themselves for potential growth in the ecosystem. This reallocation of capital could influence the broader dynamics of the digital asset market, reinforcing the need for ongoing analysis of fund flows and investor behavior [1].
